MDE has contracted with Cambium Education to deliver the
Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling (LETRS) training to
teachers who serve Kindergarten through 3rd grade students.This training focuses on instructional
approaches that address core components of reading instruction.Additionally, this training addresses reasons
why many students have reading difficulties and offer case studies to model
effective instruction.The training will
be offered in two phases.Each phase
will consist of a hybrid model of online and face-to-face sessions that allows
for self-paced learning of content.For
each phase teachers must complete an online component prior to attending face-to-face
training.
